About
the New Rochelle Police Department
The Town
of New Rochelle established its first professional police department in the Spring of 1885. Up until that time, for almost
two centuries, the community had employed constables to provide law enforcement services.
The New
Rochelle Police Department now employs over 250 personnel with 186 sworn police officers and features the latest development
in law enforcement services including community oriented policing. The Department currently responds to close to 50,000 calls
for service, investigates over 2,000 Part 1 crimes, and processes 3,000 arrests every year. In its history it has responded
to and managed literally millions of police functions and events from simple traffic control business to standoffs with barricaded
gunmen and multiple homicides.
